Definitions
- the present invention relates to a fish processing device.
- the invention relates to a fish processing device incorporating a fish rotation device.
- Another known method includes bleeding fish. Although a fish is dead, their heart continues to function for some time afterwards. By bleeding a fish, the heart pumps blood to the cut or source of the bleeding. This prevents an accumulation of blood in the flesh which may cause discolouring and jeopardise the flavour or texture of the fish. Furthermore, the bleeding process allows blood of the fish to drains, thereby minimising bleeding and odours in preparation of the fish for eating.
- Japanese Patent Application JP2000-125757 assigned to Global Cosmos KK discloses a fish processing system which fillets a fish into two pieces. A fish on a conveyor is filleted by pneumatic driven blades, which cuts the fish from behind and away from the operculums.

- the collection area 405 is formed by two sidewalls 406 , the first fish guide 410 , an entry module 407 and a clear cover (not shown).
- the entry module 407 initially receives the fish and then releases the fish into the collection area 405 .
- the collection area 405 contains a pool of water which allows a number of fish to congregate prior to processing.
- the first fish guide 410 includes non-turbulent water-jet (not shown) which flow water into the collection area 405 .
- the flow generated from the water-jets encourages the fish to swim into the first fish guide 410 .
- the clear cover substantially eliminates any spray generated by the water-jets or the fish that may contaminate the work area adjacent the fish processing system 400 .
- the first fish guide 410 is angled on a greater slant than the collection area 405 . Whilst not obvious from FIG. 4 , the first fish guide 410 is constructed from a substantially “U-shaped” channel which assists in restricting the movement of the fish.
- the striker 420 is the next stage of the fish processing system 400 .

- the head 605 includes a control chamber 607 that is linked to a control port 675 .
- a control piston valve 680 is reciprocately mounted within the head 605 and movable between a contact position and a non-contact position. The pressure located within the control chamber 670 controls the movement at the control piston valve 680 between the contact and non-contact positions.
- An outlet port 685 is located above the control piston valve 680 and allows air to pass from the head 605 .
- a passageway 687 extends through control piston valve 680 to allow air to pass from the cylinder 620 out the outlet port 685 .
- a seal 689 is located above the passageway 687 to seal the passageway 687 when the control piston valve 680 is in the contact position.
- the foot 615 has an aperture 619 through which the piston 625 extends when in the extended position.
- a Teflon self-lubricating washer 627 is located within the foot to allow smooth reciprocation of the piston.
- the striker stuns the fish by applying a blow to the head of the fish.
- the piston 625 starts in the retracted position with the control piston valve 680 in the non-contact position as shown in FIG. 8 .
- the control piston valve 680 is held in the non-contact position by high-pressure air that is fed through the control port 675 .
- the control port 675 is opened to allow pressure to be released from the control chamber 670 as shown in FIG. 9 . This allows the control piston valve 680 to move into the contact position where the passageway 687 is sealed against the seal 689 .
- High-pressure passes from the high-pressure chamber 635 into the cylinder 620 and causes the piston 625 to move to the extended position as shown in FIG. 10 .
- Air located within the cylinder 620 is passed out of the low-pressure inlet port 640 when the piston 625 travels down the cylinder 620 .
- the air is feed in the low-pressure chamber 635 through low-pressure inlet port 640 and passes through the ring of holes 655 located within the cylinder 620 to cause the piston 625 to be retracted within the cylinder 620 .
- Air located within the cylinder 620 passes through the control piston valve 680 and through the outlet port 685 to complete operation.
- the regulator 535 ( FIGS. 5 to 7 ) supplies air using standard fittings.
- a pressure gauge 550 ( FIGS. 5 to 7 ) indicates the pressure being supplied through the regulator 535 .
- FIGS. 12 to 15 show the operation of the bleeder 440 in the fish processing system 400 .
- the bleeder 440 and the striker 420 are configured to be substantially similar.
- the bleeder includes a piercer 700 mounted at the end of the piston 625 .
- like reference numerals used in FIGS. 5 to 11 refer to like parts in FIGS. 12 to 15 .
- the bleeder 440 operates by a fish being placed through the entrance 542 of the bleeder 440 .
- the fish is oriented such that the ventral surface of the fish is upwardly facing.
- the trigger 520 is depressed and the bleeder 440 is activated.
- the piston 625 located within the cylinder 620 moves to the extended position and holds the fish in position for piercing.
- the piercer 700 penetrates the throat and gill opercula region of the fish, thereby causing the fish to bleed by severing major blood vessels in the throat and/or gill arches.
- the bleeder 440 has a curved base which allows the fish to lie slightly tilted to one side. After piercing the fish, the base 500 moves downwardly causing the fish to pass through the exit 544 at the back of the bleeder 440 . There is a slight delay between the piston 625 being fully extended and the base 500 pivoting downwardly to ensure that the piercer 700 penetrates the fish. The base 500 is then moved back to its original position to allow for another fish to pass through the entrance 542 into the bleeder 440 .
- the second fish guide 450 ends the fish processing system 400 .
- the second fish guide 450 located adjacent the exit 544 of the bleeder allows passage of the fish for collection by an operator.
- the fish processing system 400 that incorporates the fish rotating device 100 , provides a streamline system in processing fish without compromising the quality of the fish. Since the fish is rotated and severed adjacent the throat region, minimal damage occurs to the edible portion of the flesh. Specifically, the fish rotating device 100 allows accurate delivery of the fish to the bleeder 430 , hence improving the accuracy of the bleeder 430 . This is highly advantageous since consumers prefer fish without superficial or structural damage. Given the severing is achieved with minimal effect upon the flesh, the fish processing system 400 provides an attractive alternative in the art of harvesting fishes.
